 So inherent within European settler colonialism is the dispossession of the indigenous population, either through genocide like in America or Canada, or ethnic cleansing, that is to say forest expulsion. Ethnic cleansing is inherent in Zionism. The Balfour Declaration never even mentioned the Palestinians because that's the point. They are not a people, according to the Zionists. When we look back at the Islamic conquest, we see something very different. The indigenous were allowed to live in their homes and practiced their religions and customs. The Zoroastrians survived in Iran. The Christians survived in North Africa to this day. If they convert, they convert. If not, they pay a tribute tax. If they can afford it, and they are guaranteed protection from the Muslim polity. Genocide and ethnic cleansing are against the principles of Islamic conquest.
